A question for the recruiters

Post by RangerX »

Have a friend of my wife who is saying something that doesn't quite jibe with me, so I thought I'd check.

Does any branch of the military accept recruits with cochlear implants? for any jobs whatsoever?

Repeal the 16th, enforce the 10th.

I gotcha brother. With your reputation and the way the word sounds "cock-leer", just figured you were setting an ambush.

There is an in-service waiver for this when hearing loss is combat related. Not sure if there is one for coming in off the street.
